Ingredients
  

4 slices of sourdough bread

8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1 medium ripe tomato, sliced

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons pesto sauce

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by slicing the fresh mozzarella and ripe tomato. Set aside the basil leaves for layering.

    Butter the Bread: Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

      Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer the mozzarella cheese, followed by slices of tomato, basil leaves, and a drizzle of pesto sauce. Sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked black pepper for added flavor.

        Complete the Sandwich: Top with the other two slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

          Grill the Sandwich: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the mozzarella has melted.

            Serve: Remove from the skillet and slice the sandwiches diagonally. If desired, drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
